1. Itasca State Park contains the tiny source of the

2. The delicate showy ladyslipper, our state flower,

3. Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, a noted explorer, discovered Lake Itasca to be the source of the
Mississippi in1832.
4. A lucky cyclist on a summertime ride through
the Paul Bunyan State Forest might see a protective white-tailed doe with her fawns.
5. A playful otter enjoys life along the many lakes,
streams and rivers.
6. The thick forests are filled with a variety of trees:
pine, tamarack, cedar, spruce, birch, sugar maple,
black ash and elm.
,
This richly forested area is covered by the
Chippewa National Forest and numerous
state forests. Attractions to the cyclist are
many, including inviting lake accesses,
campgrounds and other recreational areas,
expansive coniferous forests, interesting
folklore, and a rich Ojibway heritage.
Itasca State Park is the oldest, largest and
one of the most important state parks in
Minnesota. The park is filled with fascinating bits of history; camping, hiking, swimming, fishing and picnicking; and of course
the famous source of the famous Mississippi River. In addition, the park serves
as home for an amazing number of wildlife creatures. Visitors to the park might
chance to study a graceful white-tailed deer
at the forest's edge before he detects his
audience and darts almost soundlessly back
to the safety of the forest. Smaller creatures such as raccoons and porcupines
might be spotted along the forest floor or
in the branches of a pine or poplar tree;
however, both are nocturnal animals and
it is more likely to see evidence of their
presence in gnawed bark or in their distinctive tracks. The magnificent bald eagle
nests high in trees, in flight its wing span
expanding to seven feet. In shallow waters
the great blue heron stands motionless as a
statute on tall spindly legs, waiting for its
dinner to swim by unsuspectingly before the
heron dips its bill with one swift movement
and a quick splash.
Wildlife abounds all around the cyclist
here, supported by the thick forest growth,
lush bogs and interconnecting lakes. Many
towering white, red and jack pine extend
for miles, their evergreen needles in sharp
contrast to the crisp blue sky. In addition
to the abundant pine, this region also contains many spruce, white cedar, tamarack,
and a beautiful mix of deciduous trees such
as the hardy sugar maple, graceful birch,
shady elm and silvery ash.
Colorful, diverse wild flowers carpet the
forest floor and forest edges. The pitcher-
plant is easily identified by its open ended
vessel-like leaves which often fill with
water. The edges of the leaves are lined
with bristles which trap insects who venture too near. Some beautiful members of
the orchid family such as the showy lady's
slipper can also be found among the area's
wet woods.
The search for the source of the Mississippi
River covered many years, many miles and
many hardships. During the late 1700s and
early 1800s, adventurous explorers faced
extreme challenges. David Thompson of
the North West Company traveled up the
Mississippi to Turtle Lake and developed
excellent maps of the waterway and surrounding region which proved helpful to
later explorers. In 1820, Governor Lewis
Cass of the Michigan Territory led an expedition up the Mississippi River and named
present day Cass Lake as its source. Henry
Rowe Schoolcraft, who had accompanied
Governor Cass on the expedition of 1820,
and had privately disagreed with Cass as to
the source, finally traveled again up the
Mississippi in 1832 with an Ojibway guide.
Schoolcraft decided to call the lake Itasca,
M.E. Carson, one of Bemidji's first settlers,
married Chief Bemidji's daughter and
opened Carson's Trading Post in 1888.

deriving letters from two Latin words,
"veritas caput," meaning "truth head."
The city of Bemidji is pleasantly situated
along the shores of Lake Bemidji. Several
parks and museums offer quiet bicycling
destinations. Bemidji State University's
lakeside campus also provides many activities. The enormous statues of Paul Bunyan
and his pet blue ox Babe are reminiscent
of the powerful, bigger-than-life elements
of the logging boom which totally impacted the region's people and future.
Bemidji grew in the late 1890s as a logging
boom town, and for three decades continued to thrive as a lumber town. As the
extensive lumber supply was depleted, farmers gradually took the place of lumberjacks to carve a life out of the wilderness.
Part of the three quarters of a million acres
of the Chippewa National Forest extend
over the northeastern corner of Map 14.
Visitors to this National Forest can enjoy
solitude within an unspoiled natural environment, relaxing at a secluded sandy
beach, picking berries on a warm summer
day or hiking through the coolness of the
forest's shade. The soft fragrance of pine
and the musty aroma of a distant wood-
stove or campfire will accompany the
cyclist here, scents that in the future will
conjure memories of the delightful experiences of the Mississippi Headwaters region.
